A Series Of Unfortunate Events Bingo!

I thought it would be fun to do a bingo card for the children. This bingo card is meant to be given out after the book is finished, it’s a way to see if the children paid attention to the book and details. I did it based on the characters and important details of the book. For example, I put “roast beef” an option. For them to choose the word I would say something along the lines of ” What did Count Olaf really want for dinner?” I think it’s a fun way to remember events and characters. This can also be viewed as a fun little review later on to refresh the children’s memory.

I sat down at a desk for a while and thought about the things I enjoyed when I was in middle school, and it hit me. Children rave when they play bingo, it’s such a simple thing but yet so fun. They don’t mind learning that way. Another way I would’ve approached this is with a good game of jeopardy, but I think I would recommend that for older kids and make the questions a bit harder.  Overall I think this would be a great activity for my future teaching career :)
